On Monday the 16th September we welcomed the Queen Square Run Club to our shop for a Hylo Athletics demo evening to take the Hylo Impact for a test run!

A big thank you to Carlos from Hylo for bringing down so many shoes for us to test! Everyone who wanted to test the shoes got a pair and enjoyed the experience.

Hylo is a relatively new brand that is going from strength to strength. Founded in the UK by Michael Doughty, an ex-professional football player, with a vision to merge performance with sustainability. The brand is committed to offering runners a responsible choice that doesn’t compromise on quality or style.

By utilising recycled materials and innovative fabric technologies, Hylo are able to minimise environmental impact but still deliver comfort, durability and optimal performance. A dedication to transparency and ethical manufacturing ensures every Hylo product purchased supports a more sustainable future.

We tested the Hylo Impact which launched in March this year and is currently Hylo’s only shoe.

The Hylo Impact delivers a perfect balance of cushioning and responsiveness for those everyday miles. By incorporating a lightweight, eco-friendly design with a knitted upper made from bio-based nylon and a water-repellent DWR coating it is both comfortable and functional. The midsole is responsive and stable through clever geometry and medial side wall. An insole made with 20% bio-based foam offers enhanced comfort and support while the outsole, inspired by Formula 1 tyres, ensures optimal traction even in wet conditions. Ribbed laces reduce slip and increase durability. Runners of all levels will appreciate the performance, comfort and sustainable nature of this shoe, it really is proof that nature can perform!
